We propose to demonstrate key capabilities of a multifunctional atmospheric lidar. This lidar could be part of a Surface Weather Station to measure atmospheric backscatter profiles and temperature. These measurements address high priority needs as summarized in the 2011 Planetary Decadal Survey. We propose to demonstrate key capabilities of a multifunctional atmospheric lidar for a Mars lander. This lidar could be part of a Surface Weather Station to measure atmospheric backscatter profiles and temperature. These measurements address high priority needs for Mars science as summarized in the 2011 Planetary Decadal Survey and the last Mars 2020 Science Definition Team Final Report (2013).
